One month has passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake broke out.

Time flies. It is one month since the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred. As of April 10,the number of the people killed :13,013,missing : 14,608,evacuees:151,115. The total of the number of the people killed added to that of the missing is 27,621. But this number is expected to substantially increase, because there are people who have not been reported to the police if they are alive or dead or missing.In some of the victim families, all the members of the families were destroyed and there is no one to report to the police. In addition,the people living within 20 km radius from the crippled nuclear power plant have been forced to evacuate to other prefectures,and many things in the area are still unclear.
However,it is true that we can see some active movements for recovery in those disaster areas.Provisional housings have been completed in some places and some evacuees who were chosen by lot have begun to move in. In some schools, entrance ceremonies for the new academic year have been held, and children have begun to go to the schools which are still used for evacuation shelters.
